Editing How to Activate Call Forwarding



Call forwarding is a useful feature that allows you to redirect incoming calls to another number, such as your voicemail, a colleague's phone, or your personal mobile phone. Here are the steps to activate call forwarding on your phone:

1. Dial the call forwarding activation code. The specific code will depend on your phone carrier and location. In the US, for example, the most common code is *72. However, some carriers use *21 or *004 instead.

2. Enter the phone number you want to forward your calls to. Make sure to include the area code if it's different from your own.

3. Wait for a confirmation message or tone to indicate that call forwarding has been activated. The confirmation message will depend on your carrier, but it may say something like "call forwarding activated."

4. Test the call forwarding to make sure it's working properly. Call your phone from another phone or ask a friend to call you to see if the call is forwarded to the correct number.

5. To deactivate call forwarding, dial the deactivation code provided by your carrier. In the US, the most common deactivation code is *73, but other codes may be used.

It's important to note that call forwarding may incur additional charges, depending on your carrier and plan. Be sure to check with your carrier to understand any potential costs associated with this feature.
